Who is ambertop? I am an enthusiastic private collector collecting everything amber-related: • Amber  inclusions (insects and other animals and plants in amber) • Amber  Pieces from all around the world• Varieties of amber (different colours) • Pieces that show the formation of amber (drops, icicles etc.)• Old amber jewellery • Amber - literature • Amber jewellery: my wife is an amateur craftswoman and crafts some beautiful pieces of jewellery, a few of which can be seen on my website on the pages JEWELLERY and PENDANTS!

First and foremost, I collect inclusions and have gathered quite a nice private collection.Since my youth, I have been passionately interested in fossils and biology in general  a passion that I inherited from my father who took me to the gravel pits almost every weekend.

Thus, I inevitably ended up with a degree in biology and worked as a teacher of biology until retirement.Amber inclusions were once considered veritable treasures and were traded at immensely high prices. For my first insect inclusion, a poorly preserved lake fly, I paid 70 Danish crowns  a considerable sum of money for me back then.

Thanks to the opening up of borders to the east, more and more amber made it to us, and I could with time build up a massive collection of amber inclusions.

Within the last couple of years, the prices of inclusions and raw amber have seen a steep rise. Hence, I now only buy selected valuable pieces, especially those of scientific value.

And, as any collector  be it of coins, stamps or amber  feels after a few decades:

One wants to specialize and find ever more rare, ever more beautiful and unique pieces  and this is expensive!

So, one tries to start selling or swapping old pieces which are duplicates or have lost the meaning they once had.

This is where I am at now: my interest lies in inclusions of scientific value.

The pictures on my website are uploaded in very low resolution so anyone can load the page without major delays. I have the pictures saved in high resolution, and they can be retrieved any time  even after several decades.
